Panjwani, 40, has owned the independent Corner Stop, 11580 Chimney Rock, for five years and in less than six months he has sold three winning tickets, including two for Cash 5 jackpots of about $25,000.

But Saturday's win, with the promise of a 1 percent cut of $700,000, easily eclipsed the past successes.

"I haven't even thought about what I will do (with the money)," Panjwani said. "I will share some with my employees and give some to charity. Beyond that, I will try to not waste this great chance."

The last big Lotto jackpot won in Houston was for $37 million in June. That ticket was sold at a Texas Star Shop, a Shell Food Mart at the intersection of the Eastex Freeway and Beltway 8.

The owner of the winning ticket remained a mystery Sunday. Rehan Siddiqui, a store clerk, said the ticket was sold Saturday. He speculated, and hoped, that one of the store's regular customers hit the jackpot.

"Ninety percent of the people who come in here are people we see all the time," Siddiqui said. "It would be really nice to see one of them get something."

Customers who came into the store Sunday were greeted by multiple signs announcing the store's fortune.

"Everyone has been checking their numbers this morning," Siddiqui said. "As soon as they see those signs, they get pretty excited."

But one customer spent Sunday morning kicking herself for not buying her usual weekly ticket.

"I live right down the street, and we always buy a ticket here without fail," Regina Jones said. "Last night, I said to my husband, `Did you get our ticket?' He said no, and I planned to go out and pick one up, but I never did.

"Wait until he hears this one. We really missed out."

Panjwani, a Muslim, spent Sunday celebrating Eid ul-Adha, when Muslims order the sacrifice of a lamb or goat to commemorate Abraham's sacrifice of a ram after God spared his son from the same fate.

He had just left prayers at his mosque when one of his clerks called with the news.

"It all came at once," Panjwani said. "Today is Eid, and the Super Bowl, and then I sell a winning lottery ticket. It really does not get better than this."
